How to Pick the BEST SIZE SABIKI HOOK for Herring Fishing Explained. "What hook size sabiki rig do you use when you are herring fishing?" I hear that a lot. I don't think there is a best size for any fishing. What size hook you use is best determined by the course of day. In this video I talk about what hook sizes I like to use when and why. IMPORTANT - Hook sizes for the sabiki are discussed in American sizes in this video. Below is a quick breakdown when is best to use:
1. #10 or # 12 - Best hook size for fast bites or small herrings. I also use for extra rigs I do not care about losing. You will drop many herring if your fishing high up.
2. #6 or #4 - My favorite size hook overall. One size hook for your sabiki this is it. Hold herring tight and catches big and small. You may drop a few herring on the way up.
3. #2 or #1 - Many anglers on bridge and pier prefer the big sizes. They hold herring tight. You will miss more bites.
